Dewey, Thanks for setting me straight about A. x Hoffmannii, I didn't realize that more than one hybrid was called by this same name. I will add this to my list of anthuriums. I also know that there are people out there who are hybridizing. I implore them, write down the cross. If you only know the mother, and you like to name the plant, great, but follow it by the mothers name followed by an x then either a question mark or unknown. If it's a volunteer, and you'd like to give it a name, that's fine too but please after the name call it a volunteer (it's ok to make an educated guess at the parent, but if you aren't absolutely sure then put question marks behind your guesses). This doesn't down-grade the value of a good plant in any way. We all get volunteer hybrids of one sort or another, and understand that sometimes nature does strange things. Hybridizing is one of natures short-cuts to evolution and diversity.
